not found anything on any changes to the tfsi yet.

MikeyG · 28-04-2008, 17:26

I have one on order. Week 24 at the moment so roughly the end of June before I see it.

nice one, what sort of spec are you getting?

k.young · 28-04-2008, 17:37

Hi, is the paddleshift an option?

Tom_vRS · 28-04-2008, 19:31

If paddleshift isn't an option, I'm sure a retrofit would be possible

Race Blue Hatch with 18" and Dual Climate. Thought I'd play it safe first time out.

Paddle shift is due to follow later in the year by all accounts. And I'm sure I read somewhere that the DSG may find its way onto the TFSi vRS at some point but can't for the life of me find where I saw that.

CR vRS is now listed and priced on Skoda web site

mcreeder · 05-05-2008, 12:51

Is it just me, but the figures for the CR engine (on the skoda UK website) seem to be the same as the PD version, is this correct?

Blade404 · 05-05-2008, 13:01

hhmm.. tempting indeed...

So what is the advantage of the CR over the PD engine, if the performance and economy are the same?

Going on the specs I can find online the only thing I can see is the CR being lighter.

skodaw · 06-05-2008, 19:17

DSG with paddleshift not til next June after Octavia facelift.

Dmac1969 · 06-05-2008, 19:19

Is this a totally new engine design , no carry over of parts from the PD engines?

sjm · 06-05-2008, 20:17

When I went to the Skoda Garage today to sort out my finance on my new Octy I got talking to the guy there and he said the Paddle shift is on its way

Off topic:
Theres also the Yeti, a Skoda Van!, new superb, facelift for octy and a new 3dr car on its way. Skoda are going strengh to strengh with more range looks to be a good year

Dmac1969 · 06-05-2008, 20:55

The 3 door car will probaly be the Skoda badged version of the VW UP!

mcreeder · 06-05-2008, 21:57

I am assuming this will mean things like the Superchips bluefin will not be compatible yet for the CR engine

**mannyo** · 06-05-2008, 22:01

Correct, the likes of revo, superchips and so on will need to redo everything.
